Japanese SGS3 Variant missing wireless charging pins. - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

Got this surprise after I ordered the Touchstone kit. I am kind of bummed.
Think it was to make room for the 1seg antenna on the top left side.

those are usually diagnostic pins not wireless charging

Dr. You are usually right about the pins but not in our case. We gave two exposed pins that ha vCard e been proven to be for wireless charging battery cover. The antennae test pins are covered on the steering us variant

[Q] Connecting to the back charging terminal

Hi guys!
Is it possible to connect and charge the phone through the back connectors?

My USB port seems to be broken and I was wondering if there is a way to modify a cable so that it can connect through the back connectors (which are supposed to be there because of the kick-ass car mount HTC was going to sell with the HD2)? I have seen a thread here of a guy doing it but I can't find it.
..or you can just use those External Battery charger but much better to get an Extra battery
I already ordered an external charger but I was wondering if this back terminal could be used.

Get snipped! Dock charging

I've got a dock for my Fassy in each car, and docking it flips it to landscape mode, and since I've got mine running at 800mhz, its not the fastest to do all the operations when undocking. When someone calls me, I've got no chance at answering.
The solution? Snip your cables! Just drill a hole in the back so you can use a screw driver to pry off the back plate. Then snip all the cables except the black and red ones. Now you'll have a charge only dock, no resistors to tell the phone its in a dock. I couldn't find a software solution or a kernel hack.
While I was in there, I installed a bolt so I could bolt it to my dashboard.

[Q] Touchstone Modification - Galaxy Relay

I just got a Galaxy Relay 4G to replace my Pre 3 soon. I got so used to Touchstone charging so I'm planning to carry it over to the new phone, like some others have done:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/spr...stone-mod.html
Problem is there aren't any resistors around the Micro USB port where usually most mods hitch the wire into, and I suck at soldering something that tiny. Anyone got any tips on how I can solder it? The negative wire goes to the shell of the socket and positive wire to the 5V line on the port. For starters I know I need a new soldering iron, the 60W one I have is way overpowered.

Moto G 2014 QI Wireless Charge internal MOD

Based on the Moto G Falcon Thread i did the same for Titan.

The difficult part, was to find the spots on the MotoG2014. The spots i used:
The 5V ist the silver spot near to the USB Connector. For ground i used the Sim Connector
At least i pull off the platic film on the back from the Phone, to fit everythink nicely.
I guess it is no surprise, but everythink working fine.
You can also use your normal charging cable

Qi chargers recommendations

I have had 3 different upright Qi type wireless charges of e-bay and none of them seem to work on my Samsung S10+ in a leather case,
They work perfect with hard plastic types cases but not with the leather flip types. They also work well in (Plastic & leather) cases on the Oval type wireless chargers.
Can anyone recommend a good Upright Qi charger for my phone, without having to sell one of my kids to pay for it???
